Some time ago the automatic use of the Gnome libraries was removed,
because Gnome introduces a few problems. I will update the remark in
gui_x11.txt and in src/Makefile.
Note that this has nothing to do with the Gnome desktop.

The Law of VIM:
For each member b of the possible behaviour space B of program P, there exists
a finite time t before which at least one user u in the total user space U of
program P will request b becomes a member of the allowed behaviour space B'
(B' <= B).
In other words: Sooner or later everyone wants everything as an option.
